Canada Day on Hamilton Harbour

Even though we were moving this past weekend, we had to take a break Friday evening to partake in our patriotic Canada Day right - fireworks!

Every year, Hamilton's big show takes place at Bayfront park where Hamilton Harbour makes the perfect backdrop for all the pyrotechnics.  This year, we had an extra amazing view...from a boat!  It was a beautiful evening and a much needed break from the hecticness of moving.

As the sun set and darkness set in, the national anthem was played, and the fireworks began!

Beautiful fireworks in a beautiful city, celebrating the best country in the world!  Does it get any better?

Hamilton Harbour...by Boat!

After a busy weekend of painting the porch (we're almost done!), taming the gardens, laundry, and other not so fun chores, it was soooooo nice on Sunday afternoon to go boating on Hamilton harbour for a few hours.  This was the first time either of us had ever been on the waters of the harbour and it was pretty neat to see the city we love so much from a new perspective.

The weather was absolutely perfect and the harbour was filled with boaters.  The first thing we learned...all boaters wave when passing...weird, but friendly.  Hey look!  There's Williams...the perfect place for a beer and a panini after a boat ride, trust me!
